Mercedes c 180 1st gen as first car?

Please read the description before commenting!
I'm 18 years old male and now and i've been looking for a good first car. But i'm also very tall (6'8" 1/2) and my legs are very long so according to my experience i didn't fit in any japanese car or mostly any hatchback. Then my friend has a mercedes c class from 1995 c 180 which hes selling for 2k and its in mint condition without any breakdowns in its lifetime. He told me that this is one of the last real quality mercedes and newer ones are chryslers, which are very unreliable. Back to a car. It has enough power in my opinion (120 hp), but i'm not the guy who would always race the car on every straight road to speed as high as possible. I enjoy driving calmly, not exceeding the speed limits. I know those cars are good on long roadtrips as they are known to be very comfortable. I personally hate toyotas and hondas (only toyota i like is a toyota century, but its reserved for japanese rich citizens and i'm from middle europe so its a no. My other choice is the superb if this car isn't good enough. Again, i'm very tall so i can't sit and drive little hatchbacks and japanese cars. I prefer german ones. The american trucks are not available here and full size sedans as well because this is how we have cars in europe.

It is a choice that you and you only should make, not strangers on the internet.

Do you have a more specific question for us? Have it checked out by a mechanic to make sure there are no pending repair issues before purchase. Repairs to Mercedes and other so called Luxury models are very expensive.
